Financial News

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--McKesson Corporation (NYSE:MCK) today reported that revenues for the first quarter ended June 30, 2014 were $44.1 billion, up 37% compared to $32.2 billion a year ago. On the basis of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), first-quarter earnings per diluted share from continuing operations was $1.78 compared to $1.84 a year ago.

First-quarter Adjusted Earnings per diluted share from continuing operations was $2.49, up 18% compared to $2.11 a year ago.

First-quarter GAAP and Adjusted Earnings reflect a pre-tax charge of $34 million, or 11 cents per diluted share, related to the reclassification of a portion of our International Technology business, previously reported in discontinued operations, to continuing operations.

“McKesson fiscal first quarter results represent a strong start to the year with solid execution across our business and particularly strong growth in our Distribution Solutions segment,” said John H. Hammergren, chairman and chief executive officer. “Based on the strength of our Distribution Solutions results in the first quarter and our confidence in the full year, we are raising our previous outlook and now expect Adjusted Earnings per diluted share from continuing operations of $10.50 to $10.90 for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015.”

For the first quarter, McKesson generated cash from operations of $182 million, and ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $4.1 billion. During the quarter, McKesson paid $59 million in dividends, had internal capital spending of $119 million, and spent $14 million on acquisitions.

Segment Results

Distribution Solutions revenues were $43.3 billion, up 38% for the quarter on a constant currency basis, mainly driven by the contribution from our acquisition of Celesio and market growth.

North America pharmaceutical distribution and services revenues, which include results from U.S. Pharmaceutical, McKesson Canada and McKesson Specialty Health, were up 15% for the quarter on a constant currency basis, primarily reflecting market growth and our mix of business.

International pharmaceutical distribution and services revenues were $7.6 billion, an increase of 3% on the underlying results of Celesio, as reported, on a constant currency basis.

Medical-Surgical distribution and services revenues were up 2% for the quarter, driven by market growth.

In the first quarter, Distribution Solutions GAAP operating profit was $748 million and GAAP operating margin was 1.73%. First-quarter adjusted operating profit was $1 billion, up 44% from the prior year, driven by the acquisition of Celesio and strong results in our North America pharmaceutical distribution and services business. Adjusted operating margin for the Distribution Solutions segment was 2.32%.

Technology Solutions revenues were down 8% in the first quarter driven by anticipated revenue softness from the Horizon clinical software platform, and the planned elimination of a product line, partially offset by growth in other technology businesses. GAAP operating profit was $68 million for the first quarter and GAAP operating margin was 8.85%. Adjusted operating profit was $80 million for the first quarter and adjusted operating margin was 10.42%. Technology Solutions first quarter results reflect the reclassification of a portion of our International Technology business from discontinued operations to continuing operations, including an associated pre-tax charge of $34 million, or 11 cents per diluted share.

Fiscal Year 2015 Outlook

McKesson expects Adjusted Earnings per diluted share from continuing operations between $10.50 and $10.90 for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015, based on an exchange rate of $1.36 per Euro, which excludes the following GAAP items:

• Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets of $1.32 per diluted share.
• Acquisition expenses and related adjustments of 50 cents per diluted share.
• LIFO inventory-related charges of 95 cents to $1.05 per diluted share.

Adjusted Earnings

McKesson separately reports financial results on the basis of Adjusted Earnings. Adjusted Earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as GAAP income from continuing operations, excluding amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, acquisition expenses and related adjustments, certain litigation reserve adjustments, and Last-In-First-Out (“LIFO”) inventory-related adjustments. A reconciliation of McKesson’s financial results determined in accordance with GAAP to Adjusted Earnings is provided in Schedules 2, 3 and 4 of the financial statement tables included with this release. Recast Adjusted Earnings for Fiscal 2014 reflecting the reclassification of a portion of our International Technology business from discontinued operations to continuing operations is provided in Schedules 7, 8 and 9.

Definitions related to Adjusted Earnings (Non-GAAP) Financial Information

Adjusted Earnings represents income from continuing operations, excluding the effects of the following items from the Company’s GAAP financial results, including the related income tax effects:

Amortization of acquisition-related intangibles - Amortization expense of acquired intangible assets purchased in connection with acquisitions by the Company.

Acquisition expenses and related adjustments - Transaction and integration expenses that are directly related to acquisitions by the Company. Examples include transaction closing costs, professional service fees, restructuring or severance charges, retention payments, employee relocation expenses, facility or other exit-related expenses, recoveries of acquisition-related expenses or post-closing expenses, bridge loan fees, gains or losses related to foreign currency contracts, and gains or losses on business combinations.

Litigation reserve adjustments - Adjustments to the Company’s reserves, including accrued interest, for estimated probable losses for its Average Wholesale Price litigation matter, as such term is defined in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014.

LIFO-related adjustments - Last-In-First-Out ("LIFO") inventory-related adjustments.

Income taxes on Adjusted Earnings are calculated in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 740, “Income Taxes,” which is the same accounting principle used by the Company when presenting its GAAP financial results.

The Company believes the presentation of non-GAAP measures such as Adjusted Earnings provides useful supplemental information to investors with regard to its core operating performance, as well as assists with the comparison of its past financial performance to the Company’s future financial results. Moreover, the Company believes that the presentation of Adjusted Earnings assists investors’ ability to compare its financial results to those of other companies in the same industry. However, the Company's Adjusted Earnings measure may be defined and calculated differently by other companies in the same industry.

The Company internally uses non-GAAP financial measures such as Adjusted Earnings in connection with its own financial planning and reporting processes. Specifically, Adjusted Earnings serves as one of the measures management utilizes when allocating resources, deploying capital and assessing business performance and employee incentive compensation. Nonetheless, non-GAAP financial results and related measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for, nor superior to, financial results and measures as determined or calculated in accordance with GAAP.
